Water bottle holders

What ones do you use.  I have a salsa fargo, and am finding that because of the holder position on the fork and under the downtube, my normal aluminum cheapies just don't do the trick (though I have only lost one bottle so far).  This is especially true as I run decently high volume (long) bottles.  Any particular holder that doesn't stretch wider or can at least stand the abuse of being re-bent inward (aluminum doesn't do so well in this regard)?

I've been running the stainless King cages on my Fargo for a year with 20 oz bottles with no problems on gravel & some singletrack, have 5 of them I can utilize on there if I need that many

I use a topeak modula xl cage and although it has a special anchor point at the bottle neck I use a velcro strap around the bottle/cage to keep it in place on the rough stuff. Simple, cheaper than a new cage and the strap might come in handy

I had really good luck with the plastic Velocity holder. I had one on the bottom and one on top of the down tube for Julian Death March on the Fargo and the bottles didn't budge. I used a 24 oz and a 28 oz bottle and have run each bottle in each position.

Thanks for the recommendations.  I'll take a look at those and see...  Admittedly, I am a bit anti-plastic (partially because of the associate throw-away mentality, partially because of where it comes from), but for the price, those velocity cages seem pretty good.  @Paxton Coyote, are you using the iris or classic cages from King?

I like those Specialized rib cages, although it can be a bit of a battle to get the bottle out sometimes. They really grab that sucker.

Two toe straps and about 30 seconds of work with a gas stove, a pair of pliers and a nail.

Didn't have any issues with bottles getting launched.

I use these religiously :

They are cheap, sold in just about every LBS I've ever been in, and you can bend them to make them grip the bottle super tight. 

Another great thing about them is that they are totally reversible, making them ideal for fork-mount.

I used them on a complete thru-ride of the AZT, and never lost a bottle, even in the thorny bushwhack.  No extra strap required.

Camelbak Peloton bottles seem to be a good match, FWIW.
